The FCC has provided a 60-day transition period, beginning on December 31, 2021, and ending on February 28, 2022 (the “EBB Transition Period”), for households currently enrolled in the Emergency Broadband Benefit (EBB) program. During the EBB Transition Period you will continue to receive the EBB program discount.
